Dear Sir or Madam,

I represent an organization called "Stop the Destruction of Parks" (S.D.P.). We know that Morrison's Company are going to build a motorway into the park and we're planning to stop it.

In our opinion, motorways are unnecessary here because we already have many. Most of the people think like we do. If the company build a motorway, the people won't in the beautiful park. In addition, residents will complain because of the cars' noise.

We are very angry about this, and we will organize a protest. For this reason, we are sending some images of the park. If you want to support us, please join in our organization.

Yours faithfully,

William

An Opinion

In my opinion, the students don't study enough because our educational system isn't being effective. They don't work hard and they're unmotivated.

There are many causes for this. All classes are in the same level, for this reason good students can't progress. Usually in the school works parents help them, and as I see it, they become dependent and the work is useless.

It seems to me that the class average is about 6,5 (adding the bad students). My class don't get good marks (especially in maths). And I've always thought that they prefer languages than science.

In conclusion, is it clear to me that the educational system must improve. Clearly the problem is in the distractions. Surely if you are more interested in a subject, you get good marks.

Express doubt and persuade

William: Hey, Tis, what on earth is that?

Tis: Oh, I got this morning. What do you think? Do you like it?

William: Mmm. I'm not convinced.

Tis: Don't you think it's interesting?

William: Er, sort of, but I'm not sure about the face - it's a bit mad.

Tis: Oh, come on! It isn't that bad. It's really colorful. It's good to have a new picture, anyway.

William: I suppose so.

Tis: Don't worry, it'll be fine. It'll grow on you.

William: OK. We'll see.

Recommend and express preferences

William: Hey, Tis, have you seen any good films recently?

Tis: Yes, one or two. Have you?

William: No. What about this one? Is it any good?

Tis: I'd only recommend that if you like really bad musicals.

William: No, I don't fancy that.

Tis: Here you are. You might prefer this.

William: What's that? Mission to Planet Q? No, I'm not a big fan of science fiction. I'd prefer a comedy.

Tis: A comedy... er... OK, well, try this one. It's got a really funny plot. I think you'll like it.

William: OK. I'll trust you. Thanks, Tis.

Tis: No problem.
